All Moved In!

Running, Home, Razzle

Pre-Training Run 2.03
Distance: 5 miles
Time: 36:37.94
Average: 7:19.59
Best: Mile 1 - 7:10.45

Hills suck. They help make me a better runner, I am sure, but they sure do suck while I'm running them. There are a LOT of hills around my new apartment. Big ones, too. I have the option of crossing the freeway, heading down a busy road, or going over lots and lots of hills. And so, I ran the hills. I didn't push myself as hard as I could have, but it is encouraging to know that I could have bettered my time some. I'm still under 7:30 / mile, which is what I NEED to qualify for the Boston, I'm just shooting for 7:15 as a personal goal. I'm gonna run 3, 4, and 6 miles this week. We'll see how that goes...

In other news, I am all moved into my new apartment. I love it. A lot. Not having roommates is so awesome. It has absolutely nothing to do with who the roommates are, just that I am on my own. It's great. (And Razzle doesn't mind the extra space to move around in, either!) Hopefully I can find a time to throw some sort of party or something over here before too long. Again, more details to come as they develop!
